Aerial Sling/Hammock 1

About this event

* prerequisite required * Aerial Sling 1 (or Hammock as some refer to it) is a 60 minute class which will introduce the fundamental skills required for this art form. The aerial sling is an aerial silk fabric tied in a hammock fashion, suspended from the ceiling at two points. In this beginners class (after taking the pre-requisite Intro to Silks/Sling or by permission), students will learn proper conditioning and technique for building strength. While building strength and flexibility, students will learn several basic moves and skills that can be combined with fun transitions. The sling provides a supportive foundation and is ideal for anyone working on flexibility, those who love to be upside down and anyone who loves to dance in the air! Get ready to get wrapped up in the joy that is the Aerial Sling 1 class! Unless otherwise noted, all Coil classes have a minimum age of 14. What to Wear/Bring: Bring a water bottle! Please tie back long hair. Fingernails should be trimmed short to avoid puncturing the silks. Please be prepared to remove all dangling jewelry, bracelets, watches and rings. Please wear athletic clothing that covers the backs of the knees and shirts ideally that cover the shoulders/arm pits. Form fitting is ideal as loose clothing can get caught in the folds of the silks and sling. Silks/Sling or Hammock "soft" apparatus can be rough on the skin and rub under arms or backs of knees. With practice, they provide incredible support to make incredible shapes and movements.
